SUMMARY:PFAS: Thermal Treatment Technologies (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nRebecca DiStefano\, Calgon Carbon presented Thermal Destruction of PFAS During Full-scale Reactivation of PFAS-laden Granular Activated Carbon [PDF]. Rebecca reviewed the results of PFAS testing during full-scale reactivation of PFAS-laden GAC. Targeted PFAS analysis was conducted on the inputs and outputs of the system. The results show that under typical operating conditions\, the system demonstrated both the full removal of PFAS compounds from the GAC and >99.99% destruction of PFAS compounds through the furnace and abatement systems. \nRobert Martin\, Clean Earth presented Developments in the Remediation of PFAS Contaminated Soil by Thermal Desorption [PDF]. Rob provided an overview of thermal desorption\, Clean Earth’s research projects and results\, as well as data from other thermal desorption companies\, developing PFAS destruction science\, and thermal desorption information resources. \n \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS: Definitions for Policymaking & Federal Regulations Update (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nLinda Gaines\, US EPA presented To Be Or Not To Be A PFAS [PDF]. As a general concept\, many people know what a PFAS is\, but do we all actually agree on what is and is not a PFAS? There are several different definitions of PFAS\, and the number of chemicals considered to be PFAS can differ by thousands depending on what definition is used. The differences in PFAS definitions were explained\, and many examples were given of chemicals that meet one definition but not another. \nDianne Phillips\, Holland & Knight presented Buckle Your Seatbelts: 2024 Federal Regulatory Updates for PFAS [PDF]. Dianne provided an update and survey of federal regulatory developments involving PFAS including the alphabet soup of CERCLA\, TSCA\, RCRA\, SDWA\, NPDWR\, TRI\, CWA\, NPDES\, and CAA. \n  \n \n  \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.

SUMMARY:PFAS in Ski Wax: Human Health & Environmental Implications (webinar)
DESCRIPTION:Note: This webinar is presented for informational purposes. The views expressed do not necessarily reflect those of each of the NEWMOA-member states\, and the strategies and technologies discussed should not be considered an endorsement by NEWMOA or its members. \nGail Carlson\, Colby College presented Environmental Contamination from Fluorinated Ski Wax Use [PDF]. The use of fluorinated ski waxes in nordic and alpine skiing is beneficial for performance but disastrous for contaminating the environment with per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS\, the so-called “forever chemicals”). Snow and soil at ski areas contain PFAS residues that can be correlated with ski wax use. The recent bans on fluorinated waxes in competitive skiing from the local to the international level reduces environmental pollution and likely lowers human exposure \nKathryn Crawford\, Middlebury College presented Evaluating PFAS Exposure from Fluorinated Waxes Among US Snow Sport Participants [PDF]. Performance ski waxes are applied to the base of skis and snowboards to reduce friction with snow and waxes can contain up to 100% per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) by mass. PFAS exposure among recreational and armature skiers and snowboarders is poorly understood. To learn more about skiers’ PFAS exposure\, we conducted a pilot study to collect blood samples in 30 adult skiers who have personally applied wax to their skis at least one time. This study highlights the need for engagement with the ski and snowboard community around interventions to reduce wax-related PFAS exposure. \nView the Recording – Note that the recording ends after the third poll question because data that was not yet published was discussed \n \n  \nFor more information\, contact Jennifer Griffith at jgriffith@newmoa.org.
